Bucks' Tony Snell: Listed as out for Wednesday

by RotoWire Staff | RotoWire

Snell (knee) is listed as out in the Bucks' official game notes for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans.

This will be Snell's third straight absence while he continues to nurse patella tendinitis in his left knee. Gary Payton II will likely get the start once again, with both Rashad Vaughn and DeAndre Liggins potentially seeing extended minutes off the bench.

Snell (knee) is listed as out in the Bucks' injury report in advance of Saturday's game against the Jazz.

Snell missed the first half of the Bucks' back-to-back set Friday against the Mavericks while dealing with left patella tendinitis. One day is seemingly not enough for him to recover, as he'll miss Saturday's game as well. In his stead, Gary Payton drew the start but played just five minutes. Malcolm Brogdon, off the bench, played 41 minutes. Rashad Vaughn also benefited, seeing 11 minutes.

Snell will not play Friday against Dallas due to tendinitis in his left knee, Matt Velazquez of the Journal Sentinel reports.

This is the first we've heard of the injury, but it would explain why Snell was limited to only 20 minutes of action in Wednesday's win over Detroit. In his absence Friday, the Bucks will start Gary Payton II at shooting guard alongside Eric Bledsoe. Keep an eye on Snell's status heading into the weekend, as the Bucks play host to Utah on the second night of a back-to-back Saturday.

Snell tallied nine points (3-3 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block across 30 minutes in Tuesday's 112-87 win over the Kings.

Snell made his return to the starting lineup after a two-game absence and made the most of his modest number of shot and free-throw attempts, finding the net on all but one of them. The 26-year-old swingman can be relied on for the occasional double-digit scoring effort and has had the hot hand in November, posting a 59.2 percent success rate from the field -- including 52.4 percent from three-point range -- over 12 games during the month.

Snell will start at shooting guard for Tuesday's tilt versus the Kings, Jason Jones of The Sacramento Bee reports.

Snell played a reserve role in the two previous games, but will return to the starting lineup Tuesday. He averaged 29.8 minutes in his two stints off the bench, which is on par with his season average. Thus, he figures to take on his usual role with the club in the contest.
